At the core of BMP+ is a series of smart tools developed by industry experts.
Good biofouling management starts in the dry-dock. Designed for use with a tablet or PC, this tool provides step-by-step instructions to ensure that all areas of submerged hull are cleaned and managed to the highest standard, with a detailed photographic report to prove it.
In-water inspection, grooming and cleaning are essential tools to ensure reduced fuel consumption and acceptable aquatic biosecurity risks throughout the in-service period.
This tool allows users to oversee in-water inspections and to record the outcomes of in-water grooming and / or cleaning operations conducted by commercial divers or Remote Operated Vehicle (ROV) technology.
Internal Sea Water Systems (ISWS) require regular maintenance to ensure that essential water is supplied to on-board systems and to reduce the transfer of Invasive Aquatic Species. This tool creates a simple way to keep ISWS maintenance tasks up-to-date and integrate all reporting automatically into the Biofouling Record Book.
Third party contractors are essential to the delivery of biofouling management objectives both in dry-dock and throughout the in-service period. This tool allows users to easily generate a Scope of Works Document to provide clear and unambiguous advice to contractors so that tasks are delivered in a timely and satisfactory manner, reducing costs accumulated through confusion or uncertainty.
In the post-COVID world, access to international on-site resources cannot be taken for granted. The Live Virtual Dry-dock Inspection tool allows users to book remote assistance from a professional biofouling inspector using live video conferencing tools. This removes uncertainty from the process and ensures there are no surprises.
BMP+ recognises that unpredictable events can occur. The Enter Management Action Tool allows users to enter a range of management actions via a brief report, and ensures that new actions can be generated for any task.
This tool provides a central repository to access vessel-specific documentation as well as a wide selection of up-to-date documents and guidelines relevant to biofouling management.
Regularly updated, the latest information on management practices and regulatory requirements are always within reach.
